“Loyalty has a scent. And it smells like rebellion.”
In the future, an outbreak of canine flu leads the mayor of a Japanese city to banish all dogs to an island used as a garbage dump. The outcasts must soon embark on an epic journey when a 12-year-old boy arrives on the island to find his beloved pet.
This film feels like stepping into a beautifully intricate, hand-crafted world. It's a journey filled with deadpan wit and unexpected emotional depth, wrapped in a distinctly stylized stop-motion aesthetic. Prepare for charmingly melancholic canine camaraderie and a quirky, adventurous spirit that's both visually rich and subtly poignant.
